On this lazy rainy day, I thought these quotes might bring out a smile or two to brighten someone's day. (I even stuck in one of my own.) The quotes above, and the "Moose" comic strip deal with marriage. The following quotes concentrate more on the single people.

I wonder, how many couples out there ever used a "Promise Board?" We did in our second year of marriage, although it wasn't quite as specific as this one. There would be the simple "Yes" or "No" written upon it. (I'll be damned if I could ever find that eraser when "No" appeared.) My father-in-law gave me this advice on our wedding day: "Every time you make love, put a lucky penny in a large jar near your bed, and once it is filled, start removing a penny every time." He told me that we would never empty the jar. We never did. (I should have used a smaller jar.)

Life is what happens to us while we are making other plans. - Thomas La Mance
